Lament of the Irish Immigrant, on the CD "The Rankin Family".
An t-Eilean Muileach, English version, on one of Jim Reid's Cds, either Freewheeling Now or I Saw The Wild Geese Flee, not sure.
The Wild Geese, from the latter CD, about a Scot in England asking the north wind for news of home.
O Teannaibh Dluth is Togaibh Fonn, English version, on the CD The Standing Wave by Wendy Stuart (Stewart?) That's about being expelled from the Isle of Mull and sent to Cape Breton. Gaelic version on the Gaelic Women CD Ar Ca\nan 's Ar Ceo\l.
